Food and Drink

If you're seeking fish and chips by the sea, gourmet cuisine, international dishes or a cosy pub meal, Folkestone and Hythe has it all... If alfresco dining is more your thing, beautiful beaches, coastal views and rolling hills offer the perfect spots for picnics.

In Hythe, there is the parade and beach areas with hotels and an excellent fish restaurant. A short walk inland and over the Military Canal finds the main high street with many cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs.

Romney Marsh has many pubs, from old village inns to modern wine bars, with rich histories and stories of smuggling and more. You will also find many restaurants, takeaways and tea rooms.

The annual Hythe Food and Drink Festival every July, celebrates and promotes local produce with the canal as a backdrop. This family friendly event runs over three days in July and includes hot food, live music, beer festival, cooking demos, children's rides and other activities.
